Jamie Oliver has revealed what he really thinks of Gordon Ramsay after their 15-year long feud. 

The chefs’ feud began in 2009 when Jamie, 49, criticised Gordon, 58, for comparing an Australian journalist to a pig, the following year Gordon said Jamie was ‘just a cook’ and a ‘one-pot wonder’ while he proclaimed himself to be ‘a chef’.

However, in recent years it all appears to have thawed, with Jamie addressing their relationship in a new interview. 

Speaking to The Times on Sunday, he explained: ‘Me and Gordon are absolutely friends, our little berating decade is behind us. 

‘He’s smashing life at the moment. He’s doing things that no chef’s ever done. We’re on good terms and long may it continue.’

The chefs’ feud began in 2009 when Jamie, 49, criticised Gordon, 58, for comparing an Australian journalist to a pig, the following year Gordon said Jamie was ‘just a cook’ 

Recently, Gordon admitted that his wife Tana uses Jamie’s cookbooks to whip up lasagne and shepherd’s pie when she’s having guests over, and also posted a TikTok clip of himself with one of his rival’s recipe books. 

It may have created the sneaking suspicion that their public spats were nothing more than a ‘fake feud’ to harmlessly drum up a bit of extra publicity, but in the past their animosity has taken a more serious turn.  

In one instance, Gordon refused to speak with Jamie after his rival made a seemingly innocent remark about the amount of children both men had – soon after his wife Tana had suffered a miscarriage.

That same year, the Scottish chef also launched a verbal attack on Jamie, calling him a ‘fat f**k’ among other insults on a talk show, while he was trying to sort the UK’s obesity problem by hogging all the food himself. 

According to the Irish Independent, he had during a show episode also decided to address the situation in a mock apology.

‘Dear Jamie, I just want to say that I’m sorry,’ he said. ‘I have been hard on you this week, Jamie.

‘What I said was hurtful, Jamie. I don’t want to make you cry. The last thing I want to do is look at your cute face and think blubber, blubber, blubber.’

However, in recent years it all appears to have thawed, with Jamie addressing their relationship in a new interview (Both pictured in 2006)

Speaking to The Times on Sunday, he explained: ‘Me and Gordon are absolutely friends, our little berating decade is behind us (pictured in 2020) 

However, the playful character of the feud took a turn when later that year, Gordon vowed never to speak to Jamie following a bitter exchange of words over the size of their respective families.

The duo became embroiled in an extraordinary row over comments made by Jamie months after Gordon’s wife’s miscarriage.

Gordon accused Jamie of ‘judging’ him for having four children at the time (he now has six), compared with the Naked Chef star’s five, and insisted he must apologise to Tana before they can make peace.

When Jamie was asked about Gordon’s Nightly Show remarks by The Sun in August, he said: ‘I was doing TV years before him, so maybe five years ago it would have bothered me and I may have responded. 

‘But he’s got four kids and I’ve got five kids, and I don’t want to be slagging off some kids’ dad on telly. It’s not nice.’

Gordon, whose wife Tana suffered a miscarriage at five months in June the year prior, said he interpreted the comments as a dig after what was ‘a s*** year’.

He told Radio Times that their long-term ‘feud’ was ‘fun’ until Jamie made the comment.

He said: ‘Jamie turned round and said, ‘I’ve got five kids, he’s got four kids.’ To judge someone else’s family on the amount of kids you have.’ 

Recently, Gordon admitted that his wife Tana uses Jamie’s cookbooks to whip up lasagne and also posted a TikTok clip of himself with one of his rival’s recipe books

Gordon then said said he would not talk to Jamie again until he apologises to Tana. 

He said: ‘Boys will always fight and ʙuтт heads but Tana was mortified, I mean really mortified.’

However, it appears all has thawed in recent years, as this week – in a rare admission of his rival’s culinary skills – Gordon revealed his wife Tana is a fan of Jamie’s and uses his recipe book to cook their food.

Elsewhere, the Kitchen Nightmares star said he ‘loves Jamie’ in a TikTok, calling their fallout ‘old news’.
